Honey we just found a place in time
No doubt in our minds
Where nothing's ever as it seems
There's no need to be afraid
Through the loving that we made
We're living in a world of dreams
They say it's hard for the man
To let it all go
But when we're getting down on a thing
You and I know
Whatever we try gonna take us somewhere
You take control I don't care
I'll just surrender when pushing come to shove
We keep on making better love
Don't believe a thing when lovers say
We've tried every way
They ought to look at you and me
For whenever you take your turn
You teach me and I learn
About the way a man should be
Gotta take a hold of yourself
And swallow your pride
Cause every fella has what they call a feelin' inside
You gotta get on with that side of yourself
Before you can love anybody else
And baby I know just what you're thinking of
And that's why we keep on making better love
I believe the love and how we make it
Gonna last forever more
Lovin' you feels so fine
We've been gettin' down this evening
Like we never did before
They say it's hard for the man
To let it all go
But when we're getting down on a
Thing you and I know
Whatever we try gonna take us somewhere
You take control I don't care
I'll surrender when pushing
Come to shove
And that’s why
We keep on making better love

I hold back and is it any wonder
So scared that I'm gonna go under
And will I know
Girl the way you are
There's no telling just what you couldn't do
Make holes in my heart if I let you
And the worst is starting to show
Starting to show
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're fooling?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your love light down again
Why don't you let me be?
You don't know what you're doing
Making me feel so sure
Turning your love light down again
Every waking hour
Spent wonderin' if we're gonna make it
I just don't know if I can take it
Should I quit you baby and go, and you say
Stay with me tonight
There's no telling just what I could do
I no longer know if I want to
And I'm tired of telling you so
Telling you so
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're fooling?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your love light down again
Why don't you let me be?
You don't know what you're doing
Making me feel so sure
Turning your love light down again
Baby you turn your lovelight down
And I don't know
Just how long I can stick around
Girl I need more
And it ain't just physical
I don't know what I can do
Cos I found
It ain't love this time around

Right (Acoustic)

I believed in the old-fashioned value of the human race
And that it's usually a man who initiated
What would lead to an act of love
Every time he turned his attention to a pretty face
He had to turn it on, and that's the way that he was created
By the man in the sky above
I discovered the truth about it
That men are not so strong
What my woman is trying to say is
What I should have known all along
That she's right
And I'm wrong
Should a man raise a fuss if a woman tells him what to do
And just because of the fact that she knows something that he doesn't
Should he be trying to put her down?
Cos you're wrong clinging on what tradition has been telling you
You're not a superman, you better face that your daddy wasn't
If you want to keep somebody hangin' round
Once you've started to think about it
No matter what you do
Every different situation
Just goes to show that it's true
That she's right
And I'm wrong
Yes she’s right
And I’m wrong
Why do we bother?
This is the reason we're constantly at war with each other
Don't you know that your head's in the sand?
Don’t you know that its always the same way round
Just look back into history and you'll know
Talk to your lover
Let her know that you understand
That she's right
And I'm wrong
Yes she’s right
And I’m wrong

Feels So Good (Acoustic)

So good being with you
Even think that I should be together
Any way and any day
In all and anytime forever
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
I’m not happy at all
I’ve given up the chase and now I’m aching
I know in my heart may be you’re the one
It’s better when you’re here not gone
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Hey, why don’t you leave me down here all alone
Say, why don’t you leave me out here in the cold
Oh no, should I let you go
If you’re never gonna need me now you never will, anyhow
Hey, can you hear me say
If you’re never gonna need me now, you’re never ever gonna need me at all
So good being with you
Whether you’re here or far away
Best thing I ever did, ooh the best thing I ever did
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
So good being with you

Bad lover got me sick inside
There ain't no other, are you satisfied?
People over there talking 'bout me
Don't wanna know the things that they said
All of my friends have up and left me
I deserve to wake up dead
If it weren't for how you loved me
Bittersweet
Got me doing things that I don't wanna do
Bittersweet cause it gets salty sometimes
The way you’re laughing when I’m making love to you
I can't stand it, don't stop
Got me in a mood
Wait a minute, baby What you doing?
Honey, you're so rude
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
They say "how do you stand to be in so much pain?"
I pick up the telephone to say it's over
Soon as I hear you talk, It's started all over again
And the way that you love me, bittersweet
Got me seeing things that I don't wanna see
Bittersweet cause it gets salty sometimes
The way you're laughing when you're making love to me
You got me crawling on the floor
I never felt like this before
But I've read about it in a book somewhere
I just don't know what to do
I could leave if I wanted too
But you know I'm gonna always be right there
I don't wanna go back home
I just can't leave this alone
You could be making someone else feel as bad as me
And it plagues me in my sleep
It’s the bitterness that keeps me coming back to you
If it weren’t for how you love me

Hey you talk to me
What kind of love affair
Have I been pulled into
Baby my heart is open wide
But that's alright
I come apart should you decide
You don't want me
This is the point that I've come to
Nothing’s too dark to mention
Think I've been waiting here for you
To come and relieve the tension
Cold lonely, state of mind do I really care
You break your promises
Don't make me stick to mine,
I wanna tell you how I feel
But you're not here
No longer know just what is real
Somebody tell me
This is the point that I've come to
(I've been waiting)
Nothing’s too dark to mention (For you)
Think I've been waiting here for you
To come and relieve the tension
Baby my heart is open wide
But that's alright
I come apart should you decide
You don't want me
This is the point that I've come to
Nothing's too dark to mention
Think I've been waiting here for you
To come and relieve the tension

Is It Cool (Acoustic)

Danger danger hides behind a mirror never let me be
Smiling on both faces and I don’t like what I see
Sure footed so sure footed can’t keep up with you
Draggin’ my chains draggin’ ‘em draggin’
Is the best that I can do
And my lifeline is slipping through my fingers
And the sins of a hundred lay heavy on my chest
And I’m thinking if my life should end this very moment here
Then may be it would be for the best
Is it cool, is it cool, all senses lay down darker with the fool, yeah
Hard pushing pushing at the thin line holding back the fear
Silently screaming and I don’t like what I hear
Imperfection burns in my reflection and you know darn well
Try to fill the cracks up, but everybody else can tell
And my lifeline is slipping through my fingers
And the sins of a hundred lay heavy on my chest
And I’m thinking if my life should end this very moment here
Then may be it would be for the best
Is it cool, is it cool, all senses lay down darker with the fool, yeah
And I know even though I’ve given it all away
It was never the intention for me to follow a cause without prevention
And it’s all that I can do to keep myself together, I gotta keep myself together
And my lifeline is slipping through my fingers
And the sins of a hundred lay heavy on my chest
And I’m thinking if my life should end this very moment here
Then may be it would be for the best
Is it cool, is it cool, all senses lay down darker with the fool
Is it cool, best I can do
Senses lay down darker with the fool, lay down darker

Numb (Acoustic)

Lonely in a crowd, it’s a cliché, it’s a friend to me
And the buzzing in my brain so removed I feel no pain
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Calling from the deep, I can hear it, going down I’m going down
Out of here is out of touch and out of mind is all too much
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Having the time of my life
How could I ever know
Being without from within
I’m numb
Standing as still as I can, in the middle, of the chaos
That I brought upon myself, I become somebody else
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Hapless intuition, escapes me, it eludes me
And the clowns have gone and left me
And the jokers they were right
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Having the time of my life
How could I ever know
Being without from within
I’m numb
And for all I know
I could be having the time of my life
Taking the easy way down
Being without from within
I am numb
For all I know I could be having the time of my life
For all I know I could be having the time, having the time of my life

You overtake my soul
This old heart's just lost control
You know I've had my fill
You make me love you against my will
I just wanna let you know
I don't like it when you come around
Cos it's you that makes my love come down
Damn I'm in love with you never wanted to
Oh yes, I don't know where my mind has gone
Don't know right from wrong
I really didn't want to baby
But damn I'm in love with you
I wait every night for you to call
But honey I know you might not come at all
It makes no difference where I stand
At the end of the day your wish is my command
I just wanna live my life
I don't wanna have to think of you
Oh how can I, I do everything you tell me to
Damn I'm in love with you never wanted to
Oh yes, I don't know where my mind has gone
Don't know right from wrong
I really didn't want to baby
But damn I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I never really wanted to
I don't know right from wrong
I don't know where my mind has gone

Get inside my imagination
Don’t criticise me I’m just foolin
I don’t want some situation
Where I am left here on my own droolin
Baby on you I’m relying
(Oooh some crazy night this gonna be)
And I aint lying
(Just let the magic take its time)
(Ooh baby can you feel it)
Taking over you and me
(Can you feel it)
Oh, just about to get down
Every waves getting stronger
Give me your hand I can take you higher
We won’t be here for much longer
We’re just burning up dancing through the fire
Baby I aint going nowhere
(Oooh some crazy night this gonna be)
Do you wanna go there
(Just let the magic take its time)
Ooh baby can you feel it
Taking over you and me can you feel it
Oh, just about to get…..
Oooh, some crazy night this gonna be

I’m sheltered from the blast
I want you in my shelter
I want to watch the whole wide world go down
Cos it’s all in the past, gonna wait for this to swelter
And I get the feeling it’s starting in this town
Gonna make no sacrifice, wanna keep it all together
Cos I got to try to get my relief somewhere
And I’m waiting for the time, when I get you in my shelter
Cos I got a lot of things we can do down there
Can’t seem to get what you are, a stranger alone in this land
I’m through wishing on a star, there’s no hope in here don’t you understand
Aint no hope in here, even if we try gonna get it all wrong
Aint no hope in here, no no, no no
I can’t say I’m impressed, cos it’s not too impressive
You know if makes me want to lay down and die
It’s just the point in time that I become obsessive
And I get to hoping this will pass me by
Am I making any sense, is your thinking helter skelter
From keeping track of everything I say
But you must not be afraid, gonna get you in my shelter
Cos I got to get to making you see my way
Can’t see what you’re waiting for
Nobody will lend you a hand
Don’t care if you’re rich or poor, there’s no hope in here don’t you understand
Aint no hope in here, even if we try gonna get it all wrong
Aint no hope in here, no no, no no

Man of the world don’t you try with your questions
Don’t ask me what to do
I don’t need your suggestions, I know what they’re leading to
You don’t understand, what I’m going through my friend
And I hope you never will
I just fantasize, and I will not come down
Until I’ve had my fill
I know what I want but I just wouldn’t dare
I’d let her into my heart but she’s already there
Love comes in waves and I just reach a point
I fall over and over again
The world I live in is so lonely, I could tell you
All of my trouble and strife
I just want for somebody please come into my life
I know I’m a fool and I set my hopes high
But what else can I do
I just fall apart every time she walks by
This is what it’s coming too
I know what I want but I just wouldn’t dare
I’d let her into my heart but she’s already there
Love comes in waves and I just reach a point
I fall over and over again

You can't hide away
Look at the shape you're in
Is it taking over?
Don't know what to say
At least admit defeat
And you got to know her
So it takes a thousand years
But that's the way it goes
'Cos after all is said and done
She never did for anyone
The light of your life? don't be so sure
You better check yourself before you throw it all away
Heavy nights
Feels so good but what's going on inside her
It's a mystery
To get this close without getting any wiser
So you wasted all your tears
But that's the way it goes
'Cos after all is said and done
She never did for anyone
The light of your life? don't be so sure
You better check yourself before you throw it all away
What do you think of it all so far
Seemingly lovesick fool you are
Do you like what you find
Don't look to us when you lose your mind
Caught in a trap, gotta break free
But that ain't done so easily
You know where you're bound
She don't stop dragging your heart around
How many times can you take a fall
For once in your life be sensible
Beware of attack
You keep on running and don't look back
Maybe too blind to see her plan
That kind of love could kill a man
You're all on your own
Don't act so shocked when you turn to stone
So it takes a thousand years
But that's the way it goes
After all is said and done
She never did for anyone
The light of your life? don't be so sure
You better check yourself before you throw it all away
She never did for anyone
The light of your life? don't be so sure
You better check yourself before you throw it all away

Worried Mind (Acoustic)

I see red, when I see blue
Clouds my mind, with a darkened hue
When I go to pieces, I go too far
And I don’t know what I’m doing, cos I’m not here
I can be the good guy, I do it well
And only for a short time, you can never tell
I’ll show you my right side and left side too
And if you saw the real side, you may have to leave
I never see blue skies, I never see sunny days
The hardest part is when it’s all about to break and I have found
Living too many lifetimes, can leave a mark on you
And it all feels so familiar
It gets so bad I afraid, I might bring the whole world down with me
I close my eyes, and disappear
Follow the noises, and there’s nothing there
And the darkest thoughts, all that’s left behind
In the shattered pieces of my worried mind
I never see blue skies, I never see sunny days
The hardest part is when it’s all about to break and I have found
Living too many lifetimes, can leave a mark on you
And it all feels so familiar
It gets so bad I afraid, I might bring the whole world down with me

Ooh, some crazy night this gonna be
Sorry but you know that I
Don't know just what's come over me
Ah baby, I never have too much
I get that feeling in my body when we touch
Ooh baby, love me like the hurricane
Anything you wanna do
Down up, and round, and back again
Don't stop me, I've got to get you there
I'll never stop and if it hurts me, I don't care
I will keep on keeping on
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby, now that you've got me here
I’ll just keep holding on
Holding on
You just make me
You just make me

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
